I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with Jaci not once but twice! I had no idea what to expect with my first daughter’s photo session but Jaci helped to make what could have been a stressful event stress free. Of course, when it was time to take my second daughter’s photos, there was no doubt I was going back to Jaci. She provided many great locations for our photo shoot and was wonderful with making the girls feel at ease throughout the process. Jaci was very attentive and always responded quickly with answers to my questions. The final product/pictures were amazing and the quality was above what I could have expected. Jaci is a wonderful, caring person/photographer. I would highly recommend her!!

KIND WORDS
Family of four posing outdoors in a garden with white fence, including an elderly man seated in front.

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Jaci. From start to finish, she demonstrated true expertise, capturing our family with beautiful lighting, thoughtful composition, and natural editing that made every photo feel special. She was incredibly kind and patient, making sure everyone felt comfortable and at ease.


Not only did she capture all the important moments, but she also took the time to understand our family dynamic, ensuring that each image told a meaningful story. Her warmth and professionalism made the entire session enjoyable, and the final photos exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful for her compassionate approach and the memories she helped us preserve. Highly recommend!

Jaci has been our family’s photographer for years. She is always highly professional, arrives on time and is incredibly approachable. She has done many family sessions, as well as my children’s senior sessions. She always puts myself and my boys, who aren’t the most comfortable in front of a camera, at ease. She is a wonderful person to work with.

FAQ

When should I book my senior session?

Most seniors book their session 3–6 months in advance, especially if they want peak seasons like summer or fall. Booking early ensures you get the best date and plenty of time for planning.

What should I wear?

Choose outfits that feel comfortable, confident, and true to your style. Most seniors bring 3-4 outfits to create variety in their photos. Once you're booked, I’ll guide you through outfit ideas and help you choose pieces that photograph beautifully.

Where will the session take place?

Sessions typically take place at outdoor locations around Metro Detroit that provide beautiful light and variety. During our consultation, we’ll talk about locations that match your personality and style.

What happens if the weather is bad?

If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll simply reschedule for the next available date with good lighting conditions. Beautiful light is worth the wait.

Do parents need to attend the session?

Yes — a parent or guardian should attend the session. Many parents enjoy being there to watch the experience and help with outfits or encouragement.

How long does the session last?

Most sessions last 60–90 minutes of actual shooting time, which gives us plenty of time for multiple outfits and a variety of locations while keeping the experience relaxed and fun. I schedule a full 2-hour window for each session so we have flexibility for outfit changes, walking between shooting spots, and capturing the best natural light.

Can we include hobbies, sports, or personal interests?

Yes! Senior sessions are meant to celebrate your senior's journey. Whether that’s a sport, instrument, hobby, or something meaningful to them, we can absolutely incorporate those elements into the session to make the photos feel even more personal.

How does the ordering process work?

About 1–2 weeks after your session, you’ll receive an online gallery where you can view all of your images. Each photo is professionally edited for color, lighting, and overall style so you can see the final look of your session while choosing your favorites.

Your gallery also includes a built-in store, where you can easily order prints, products, and digital images directly from the gallery.

Once your selections are made, I will fully retouch your chosen images before delivering them or sending them to print. Final retouching includes subtle refinements such as blemish removal and polishing the image so it’s ready to be beautifully displayed.

Do you retouch photos?

All images are professionally edited for color, lighting, and style before they are shown in your gallery. Once you select your favorites, I complete final retouching before delivering or printing the images, including subtle blemish removal and small refinements so the photos look polished while still natural.

Senior's Perspective

I’ve shot with Jaci from J. Mendek Photography a few times now, and every experience has been amazing. She’s super friendly, makes you feel comfortable and truly seen, which makes such a difference in front of the camera.


She puts so much effort and care into her work, and it really shows in the final photos. As a student, I also appreciate that she’s relatively affordable without sacrificing quality. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

-Ivy

Mom's Perspective

Working with Jaci was truly a joy from start to finish. She is not only incredibly talented, but she has such a unique gift for connecting with the teens she works with. Jaci makes each of them feel seen, valued, and completely special—like a true superstar. She takes the time to really get to know them as individuals and brings out their personality in such an authentic and beautiful way through her photography.


Our senior photo experience exceeded every expectation I had. The photos were stunning—my daughter looked amazing—but even more importantly, she felt amazing. That confidence and excitement Jaci created is something we’ll never forget.


From lighting to editing to the overall experience, Jaci absolutely nails every detail. She goes above and beyond to make sure you’re not just happy, but truly thrilled with the final results.


On top of that, her pricing is very competitive. After looking at other photographers, I can confidently say she offers incredible value while still delivering a premium experience.
